G'Day to all members. I hope this message finds you all well.
I am writing to let you know that I have made the decision to close the BuscraftOz forum as of the new year 01/01/2023. Over the last few years we have seen a reduction in usage as more users transition to other platforms and this has coincided with less time on my end to work on promoting and developing the site as well. As of the 1st of January 2023 the forum will move into archive mode and will be closed for posting.
Due to the great deal of information that has been contributed to the forum over it's nearly 12 years online we are hesitant to shut it down completely so the current plan is that it may remain an archived resource online for those interested in learning more about Australian Bushcraft online. I will make a determination of how to format or display the archived information at a later date but as of the 1st it will no longer be an active forum for posting new content. If there are other active bushcraft groups that you will be active on and would like to let users about this before we close please feel free to do so.
I want to thank so much all the members who have contributed to the community over the years, organised meets and shared their knowledge. Many have been with us from the start and still post today. You all produced a terrific resource for Australian bushcraft and no doubt inspired many to learn more and care for our unique and beautiful natural landscape. Your contributions to this community far exceeded what I thought was possible and I can only say Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
The final word must go to the incredible support staff of this forum, without whom this community would not have been possible. They gave their time for this forum and that can never be repaid but I'm lifted up by thinking of the great contribution to Australian bushcraft that they, along with the members help foster. Their dedication, care, support and advice has been so instrumental in making the forum what it is and on a personal level, a tremendous support behind the scenes. We have had many moderators over the years but in particular I would like to express my most heartfelt gratitude to:
Corin, Wentworth, Howling Dingo, Aussie123, Mozzie, pap11y and BushChef as well as our archivists Hairyman and Dusty Miller.
Thank you all for a wonderful adventure. I wish you all love and peace over the horizon.
